April 30, 2025- Shipments of goods from China to the U.S. are dropping sharply with the Trump administration’s tariffs in place, leading to warnings about impending supply shortages, according to CBS News. Trade war policies are expected to bring about a 35% decline in cargo arriving at the Port of Los Angeles by next week as shipments out of China stall, according to Investor’s Business Daily. Shipments from China make up about 45% of the business for the Port of LA, though some transport companies will be looking to pick up goods at other points in Southeast Asia to try to fill up their ships, according to CNBC.
